1 The Dark Alley

A dark alley, no one but me. A dim, flickering light. Rats and bugs crawling over the trash and food left by the people claiming to be all so good.

I walk. Away from the dim, flickering light, towards the darkness. I walk away, like I always did, like I always do, my whole life.

I reach a wall. I can not see it. But I can always feel it. I know that there is Light beyond this wall, even if it may be dim, there is Light, I know it must be much brighter than the light I have tried to leave behind me. But I only think I know.

I try to break it, I try to find a way beyond what is known to me. I try, like I always did, like I always do.

No chance. The only thing that breaks more and more after each try, is me. I am not breaking a wall. I am breaking myself. And I know that. Yes, I know it, I always did. But I am desperate to get out of this place. This place, only I know. The only Visitors I have, are the Rats, which hide in the shadows. Trying not to get caught by my eyes. Trying to make use of me, my state. Trying leech everything they could off of me. They think I don't know. And it is true, that at first I didn't know. But I know, I found out after falling into this alley, alone.

I try to sleep. I do. But the wall bothers me. I want to try again. And I do, like I always do, like I always did. Today feels different. The rats didn't bother me and I feel a bit more energy in my usually, empty body. I reach out and I feel it. There it is. The wall.

As my hands wander down the wall. I feel something else. A stick? I try to lift it. No. It's to heavy. A hammer maybe? As I feel the other end of the stick. My speculations were true. A hammer. I suddenly feel a shiver down my spine. A cold breeze blows against the wall. Against me. I think there is someone, something behind me. But I do not turn back. Not now. I have to much to loose.

I lift up the hammer. And I take A big swing. There. A Hole. I can feel it. It is big enough for me to go through. But, I do not see any light.

I get anxious. Not because of the light you see, but I hear steps from behind. And I never heard steps before. I try to fit through the hole. I get stuck. It doesn't matter. I have to get out of here. I violently rip my clothes off. I'm only a bit thinner now. But thin enough to fit through the hole.

In my moment of hesitation, I suddenly hear a loud bang. A light. A dim one.

There is someone....something.

This is my first time really writing something. Hope it's not too bad.
